Detroit Lions Podcast: 2025 NFL Draft Targets, Free Agency Moves, and the Future at Ford Field The NFL offseason has officially wrapped, the Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions, and the Detroit Lions are wasting no time preparing for what could be one of their most pivotal years yet. As free agency slows down and the spotlight shifts to the upcoming NFL Draft 2025, the Lions find themselves in a strong position, thanks to a calculated offseason by general manager Brad Holmes. On tonight's episode of the Detroit Lions Podcast, we'll dive deep into early draft targets, free agency takeaways, and the team's major announcement about staying at Ford Field through 2036. Lions Eye Impact Defenders in 2025 NFL Draft The Lions head into this year's NFL Draft with depth across the board, but the defensive front remains an area of focus. After parting ways with veteran edge rusher Za'Darius Smith and facing uncertainty surrounding Alim McNeill's injury recovery, Detroit is prioritizing the trenches. Three names generating early buzz among draft analysts and fans alike are James Pearce Jr., Derrick Harmon, and Kenneth Grant. Pearce, a dynamic edge rusher out of Tennessee, turned in one of the most impressive performances at the 2025 NFL Combine, clocking a 4.47-second 40-yard dash at 245 pounds. His speed off the edge and first-step quickness make him an ideal bookend opposite Aidan Hutchinson. Harmon, a Detroit native who starred at Oregon, brings interior pass rush upside with 55 quarterback pressures last season—most among defensive tackles in college football. His 4.95-second 40 at over 300 pounds has scouts intrigued about his ceiling as a 3-technique disruptor. Meanwhile, Michigan's Kenneth Grant is a mountain in the middle at 340 pounds, but his agility and strength make him more than a run-stuffer. If the Lions are looking to dominate the line of scrimmage, Grant could be the long-term answer inside. . Holmes Finds Balance in Free Agency, Lions Double Down on Ford Field Brad Holmes continued his disciplined, high-value approach in NFL free agency, re-signing key Lions free agent contributors like linebacker Derrick Barnes and defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike. In the secondary, Detroit revamped its depth with proven veterans, including D.J. Reed, Avonte Maddox, and Rock Ya-Sin. The additions not only bring experience but help solidify a pass defense that was too inconsistent last season. Just as important as the roster moves, the Lions made a major off-the-field announcement: they're staying home. The team has extended its lease at Ford Field through the 2036 season, affirming their commitment to Detroit and their partnership with the Ford family. In a city hungry for stability and a championship-caliber team, the move signals continuity and long-term vision. With the core in place, cap space smartly spent, and a clear draft strategy forming, Detroit enters this phase of the offseason with purpose. The next steps in the NFL Draft 2025 could be what finally pushes the Lions from playoff contenders to legitimate Super Bowl threats. Tune in tonight—we'll break it all down on the show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwXH4NkJTMQ Join the Patreon Crew at: https://bit.ly/2bgQgyj #lions #detroitlions #detroitlionspodcast #allgrit #onepride #nfl #nfldraft #nfldraft2025 #NFLDraft #NFLDraft2025 Learn more about your ad choices.

Detroit Lions Free Agency Kicks Off: Key Moves and Roster Additions The Detroit Lions are officially in NFL free agency mode, with general manager Brad Holmes wasting no time making moves to strengthen the roster. With free agency opening today at 4 PM EST, teams across the NFL have been making aggressive signings, and the Lions are no exception. Holmes has focused on retaining key internal free agents while also bringing in new talent to bolster the team for another deep playoff run. As the Lions continue to build their roster through free agency, the next phase of the offseason will shift focus to the 2025 NFL Draft, where Detroit has consistently found impact players under Holmes' leadership. Join us live tonight, Wednesday, March 12, as we break down all the latest moves, potential signings, and what's next for the Lions' offseason. Detroit Lions Free Agent Moves: Retaining Core Players and Adding New Talent One of the biggest questions entering NFL free agency was how the Lions would handle their own free agents. Holmes has prioritized re-signing key contributors, ensuring the continuity and depth of Detroit's roster remains intact. In addition to bringing back critical players, Detroit has also added outside talent, including defensive lineman Roy Lopez and cornerback D.J. Reed. Lopez, a former Arizona Cardinal and Houston Texan, provides depth and toughness to the defensive front, while Reed, previously with the New York Jets, brings experience and playmaking ability to the Lions' secondary. Another name to watch this offseason is Levi Onwuzurike, a former second-round pick who has battled injuries but could play a pivotal role if he stays healthy. The Lions continue to develop talent from within, a key reason why Detroit has been able to build a sustainable contender. NFL Draft 2025 and the Next Wave of Talent While free agency is in full swing, the Lions' front office is also preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft. With a strong history of drafting impact players, Detroit will look to add depth and playmakers to key positions, including the defensive line, cornerback, and offensive line. The 2025 NFL Combine provided plenty of insights into the upcoming draft class, and the Lions' scouting department has been busy evaluating the top prospects. Holmes has made it clear that building through the draft remains a top priority, and Detroit fans can expect more smart, strategic picks in April. Join us live tonight for all the latest news on NFL free agency, Lions signings, and draft strategy as the team builds toward another big season! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivOwKyN3tyI Let us know what you think about the show by commenting in the podcast thread in the subreddit, or by leaving us a voice mail message via Skype at: Detroit Lions Podcast  Your input will help make the show better, and if you leave us a message on Skype, you just might be featured in an upcoming podcast!

As of March 12, 2025, the Cincinnati Bengals are entering the free agency period with a focus on bolstering their roster following a 2024 season that left them eager to improve both offensively and defensively. With the new NFL league year officially starting today at 4 p.m. ET, the Bengals have already made strategic moves in prior years and are poised to target key free agents to address lingering needs. The team currently has approximately $46 million in salary cap space, providing flexibility to pursue impactful additions while managing extensions for stars like Ja'Marr Chase and decisions regarding Tee Higgins, who has been franchise-tagged for the second consecutive year at $26.2 million. Looking back at last year's free agency as a reference point, the Bengals added players like safety Geno Stone from Baltimore, running back Zack Moss from Indianapolis, tight end Mike Gesicki from New England, defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins from Houston, and safety Vonn Bell from Carolina. They also retained key depth pieces such as tight end Drew Sample, offensive lineman Cody Ford, and linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither. These moves showcased a balanced approach, enhancing the offense around Joe Burrow while reinforcing a defense under new coordinator Al Golden. For 2025, the Bengals appear to be continuing this strategy, with an emphasis on fortifying the defensive line and secondary, areas that struggled in 2024. Posts on X and web sources suggest the Bengals have interest in several free agents this offseason. On the offensive line, names like Will Hernandez, Pat Mekari, Teven Jenkins, and Mekhi Becton have surfaced as potential targets to protect Burrow and improve the run game. Defensively, edge rushers such as Azeez Ojulari, Dre'Mont Jones, and Levi Onwuzurike are on the radar to complement or replace Trey Hendrickson, who has requested a trade. Veteran Calais Campbell could provide leadership and depth. With 23 pending free agents, including stars like Higgins, B.J. Hill, and Mike Hilton, the Bengals must balance re-signings with external additions. Their draft position (17th overall) and six picks offer further flexibility, but free agency will be critical in setting the tone for 2025. Expect Cincinnati to target versatile, high-impact players to elevate their contention window.

Valenti and Rico give their thoughts on the Lions re-signing DT Levi Onwuzurike to a one-year deal.

Mike and Rico open the third hour joined by David, who does a "CBB Fastbreak" with the guys. They take some of your calls before reacting to the news that DT Levi Onwuzurike is re-signing with the Lions.

2021 2nd-round pick Levi Onwuzurike is out for the season after undergoing back surgery

What's up with the Lions history of second round picks?

NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Los Angeles Kings 5, Detroit Red Wings 4 – OT Kings 5, Red Wings 4 – OT – Danault’s overtime goal gives Kings 5-4 win over Red Wings Phillip Danault scored 1:12 into overtime for his second goal of the game, and the Los Angeles Kings handed the Detroit Red Wings their first loss with a 5-4 victory. Danault’s winning shot in front hit a defender’s skate and bounced into the net. Anze Kopitar had a goal and an assist, giving him 47 points in 42 games against Detroit. Gabriel Vilardi also scored for the Kings, and Jonathan Quick made 29 saves. Wings forward Oskar Sundqvist scored in the final minute of regulation to send the game into overtime. NHL – Red Wings’ Bertuzzi out 4 to 6 weeks with upper-body injury Detroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi is expected to be out for four to six weeks with an upper-body injury. The team made the announcement Monday before hosting the Los Angeles Kings. Bertuzzi helped Detroit win its first two games this season, giving the rebuilding team a much-needed solid start. Bertuzzi had career highs last year with 30 goals and 62 points. The 27-year-old Bertuzzi has scored 84 goals and has 189 assists in his career. NFL – National Football League – Week 6 Yesterday Los Angeles Chargers 19, Denver Broncos 16 – OT Chargers 19, Broncos 16 – OT – Late turnover, Hopkins 4th field goal gives Chargers OT win Dustin Hopkins kicked four field goals, including a 39-yarder with 2:38 remaining in overtime, and the Los Angeles Chargers rallied for a 19-16 victory over the Denver Broncos. The Chargers have won three straight to improve to 4-2. They are tied with Kansas City atop the AFC West. The game appeared to be headed toward a tie until Denver’s Montrell Washington muffed JK Scott’s punt at the Broncos 32-yard line. It was recovered by Deane Leonard at the 28. NFL – Lions DL Levi Onwuzurike out for year after back surgery Detroit Lions defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike is out for the season after having back surgery earlier this month. Lions coach Dan Campbell made the announcement Monday. The Lions drafted Onwuzurike with the No. 41 pick overall in 2021 and the former Washington standout had an underwhelming rookie season. Onwuzurike played in 16 games as a backup last year and had 35 tackles, including one sack. While trying to recover from a back injury this season, he did not play in a game. MLB – Major League Baseball Playoffs Last Night ALDS – Best of 5 Cleveland Guardians at New York Yankees, PPD Rain                            (Series tied 2-2) Guardians at Yankees, PPD – Guardians-Yankees rained out, to play ALDS Game 5 on Tuesday The decisive Game 5 of the AL Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees has been postponed by rain after a 2 1/2-hour delay and rescheduled for Tuesday at 4:07 p.m. Both teams took batting practice ahead of the scheduled 7:07 p.m. start. Major League Baseball announced a delay at 6:20 p.m., rain started falling at 7:30 p.m. and the postponement was announced at 9:38 p.m. It was the second postponement of the series following Game 2 at Yankee Stadium being pushed back a day until last Friday. Cleveland or New York will start the AL Championship Series at Houston on Wednesday night. Today ALDS – Best of 5 Cleveland (Civale 5-6) at New York (Cortes 12-4), 4:07 p.m.                 (Series tied 2-2) NLCS – Best of 7 Philadelphia (Wheeler 12-7) at San Diego (Darvish 16-8), 8:03 p.m.       (Game 1) NBA – National Basketball Association – Regular Season Openers Tonight Philadelphia 76ers at Boston Celtics, 7:30 p.m. Los Angeles Lakers at Golden State Warriors, 10:00 p.m. NBA – NBA ’22-23: Warriors out to defend, amid tons of contenders The Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics were the final two teams standing last season. And before this season started, both encountered some major issues. The Warriors will get their championship rings Tuesday night when the 77th NBA season opens. It’ll be the fourth time in eight years that the Warriors go into a season as defending champs. But they were rocked in the preseason by Draymond Green punching teammate Jordan Poole. They beat the Celtics in the NBA Finals and Boston has since lost coach Ime Udoka to a team-ordered suspension. If all that wasn’t enough, there are tons of contenders in both conferences to try to take the Warriors and Celtics down. NBA – Barkley, ‘Inside the NBA’ crew agree to contract extensions Charles Barkley will not be leaving TNT or the “Inside the NBA” crew for the foreseeable future. Barkley has signed a 10-year extension with Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, which owns TNT. Barkley’s agreement coincides with contract renewals for host Ernie Johnson and analysts Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal. Barkley has been with TNT since retiring as a player in 2000. He had floated the idea of doing commentary for LIV Golf this past summer. NCAAMBKB – North Carolina No. 1 in preseason AP Top 25 North Carolina is No. 1 in the preseason AP Top 25 men’s basketball poll. The national runner-up from last season returns four of five starters and received 47 of 62 first-place votes. Gonzaga is No. 2, followed by Houston and Kentucky. Kansas and Baylor, the last two national champions, are tied for fifth. Duke, led by new coach Jon Scheyer, is seventh with UCLA, Creighton and Arkansas rounding out the top 10. The Big 12 and SEC lead the way with five teams apiece in the Top 25. NCAAFB – Fallout from rare Alabama loss Alabama loses so infrequently it seems to shift the shape of the season when it happens. The Crimson Tide took an L on Saturday at Tennessee that pushed the Volunteers to No. 3 in the AP Top 25. The Vols received 15 first-place votes, the most they have gotten since 1999. After falling on a field goal as time expired, the Crimson Tide slipped three spots to No. 6. Alabama is the highest ranked team that has lost. Reality Check cautions against making any grand proclamations about the Alabama dynasty’s long-term health and is fine with the Tide’s short fall. NASCAR – Wallace ignored his own mantra in Larson conflict NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace has a mantra of “Peace, Love and Understanding” that he uses to push back against the negativity so often hurled his way. There was nothing peaceful about his skirmish with Kyle Larson at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Wallace appeared to deliberately crash the reigning NASCAR champion in a dangerous retaliatory move and then he tried to fight Larson. Now NASCAR gets to decide if Wallace was out of line. He could be looking at a suspension.

NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Los Angeles Kings 5, Detroit Red Wings 4 – OT Kings 5, Red Wings 4 – OT – Danault’s overtime goal gives Kings 5-4 win over Red Wings Phillip Danault scored 1:12 into overtime for his second goal of the game, and the Los Angeles Kings handed the Detroit Red Wings their first loss with a 5-4 victory. Danault’s winning shot in front hit a defender’s skate and bounced into the net. Anze Kopitar had a goal and an assist, giving him 47 points in 42 games against Detroit. Gabriel Vilardi also scored for the Kings, and Jonathan Quick made 29 saves. Wings forward Oskar Sundqvist scored in the final minute of regulation to send the game into overtime. NHL – Red Wings’ Bertuzzi out 4 to 6 weeks with upper-body injury Detroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi is expected to be out for four to six weeks with an upper-body injury. The team made the announcement Monday before hosting the Los Angeles Kings. Bertuzzi helped Detroit win its first two games this season, giving the rebuilding team a much-needed solid start. Bertuzzi had career highs last year with 30 goals and 62 points. The 27-year-old Bertuzzi has scored 84 goals and has 189 assists in his career. NFL – National Football League – Week 6 Yesterday Los Angeles Chargers 19, Denver Broncos 16 – OT Chargers 19, Broncos 16 – OT – Late turnover, Hopkins 4th field goal gives Chargers OT win Dustin Hopkins kicked four field goals, including a 39-yarder with 2:38 remaining in overtime, and the Los Angeles Chargers rallied for a 19-16 victory over the Denver Broncos. The Chargers have won three straight to improve to 4-2. They are tied with Kansas City atop the AFC West. The game appeared to be headed toward a tie until Denver’s Montrell Washington muffed JK Scott’s punt at the Broncos 32-yard line. It was recovered by Deane Leonard at the 28. NFL – Lions DL Levi Onwuzurike out for year after back surgery Detroit Lions defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike is out for the season after having back surgery earlier this month. Lions coach Dan Campbell made the announcement Monday. The Lions drafted Onwuzurike with the No. 41 pick overall in 2021 and the former Washington standout had an underwhelming rookie season. Onwuzurike played in 16 games as a backup last year and had 35 tackles, including one sack. While trying to recover from a back injury this season, he did not play in a game. MLB – Major League Baseball Playoffs Last Night ALDS – Best of 5 Cleveland Guardians at New York Yankees, PPD Rain                            (Series tied 2-2) Guardians at Yankees, PPD – Guardians-Yankees rained out, to play ALDS Game 5 on Tuesday The decisive Game 5 of the AL Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees has been postponed by rain after a 2 1/2-hour delay and rescheduled for Tuesday at 4:07 p.m. Both teams took batting practice ahead of the scheduled 7:07 p.m. start. Major League Baseball announced a delay at 6:20 p.m., rain started falling at 7:30 p.m. and the postponement was announced at 9:38 p.m. It was the second postponement of the series following Game 2 at Yankee Stadium being pushed back a day until last Friday. Cleveland or New York will start the AL Championship Series at Houston on Wednesday night. Today ALDS – Best of 5 Cleveland (Civale 5-6) at New York (Cortes 12-4), 4:07 p.m.                 (Series tied 2-2) NLCS – Best of 7 Philadelphia (Wheeler 12-7) at San Diego (Darvish 16-8), 8:03 p.m.       (Game 1) NBA – National Basketball Association – Regular Season Openers Tonight Philadelphia 76ers at Boston Celtics, 7:30 p.m. Los Angeles Lakers at Golden State Warriors, 10:00 p.m. NBA – NBA ’22-23: Warriors out to defend, amid tons of contenders The Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics were the final two teams standing last season. And before this season started, both encountered some major issues. The Warriors will get their championship rings Tuesday night when the 77th NBA season opens. It’ll be the fourth time in eight years that the Warriors go into a season as defending champs. But they were rocked in the preseason by Draymond Green punching teammate Jordan Poole. They beat the Celtics in the NBA Finals and Boston has since lost coach Ime Udoka to a team-ordered suspension. If all that wasn’t enough, there are tons of contenders in both conferences to try to take the Warriors and Celtics down. NBA – Barkley, ‘Inside the NBA’ crew agree to contract extensions Charles Barkley will not be leaving TNT or the “Inside the NBA” crew for the foreseeable future. Barkley has signed a 10-year extension with Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, which owns TNT. Barkley’s agreement coincides with contract renewals for host Ernie Johnson and analysts Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal. Barkley has been with TNT since retiring as a player in 2000. He had floated the idea of doing commentary for LIV Golf this past summer. NCAAMBKB – North Carolina No. 1 in preseason AP Top 25 North Carolina is No. 1 in the preseason AP Top 25 men’s basketball poll. The national runner-up from last season returns four of five starters and received 47 of 62 first-place votes. Gonzaga is No. 2, followed by Houston and Kentucky. Kansas and Baylor, the last two national champions, are tied for fifth. Duke, led by new coach Jon Scheyer, is seventh with UCLA, Creighton and Arkansas rounding out the top 10. The Big 12 and SEC lead the way with five teams apiece in the Top 25. NCAAFB – Fallout from rare Alabama loss Alabama loses so infrequently it seems to shift the shape of the season when it happens.

NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Los Angeles Kings 5, Detroit Red Wings 4 – OT Kings 5, Red Wings 4 – OT – Danault’s overtime goal gives Kings 5-4 win over Red Wings Phillip Danault scored 1:12 into overtime for his second goal of the game, and the Los Angeles Kings handed the Detroit Red Wings their first loss with a 5-4 victory. Danault’s winning shot in front hit a defender’s skate and bounced into the net. Anze Kopitar had a goal and an assist, giving him 47 points in 42 games against Detroit. Gabriel Vilardi also scored for the Kings, and Jonathan Quick made 29 saves. Wings forward Oskar Sundqvist scored in the final minute of regulation to send the game into overtime. NHL – Red Wings’ Bertuzzi out 4 to 6 weeks with upper-body injury Detroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi is expected to be out for four to six weeks with an upper-body injury. The team made the announcement Monday before hosting the Los Angeles Kings. Bertuzzi helped Detroit win its first two games this season, giving the rebuilding team a much-needed solid start. Bertuzzi had career highs last year with 30 goals and 62 points. The 27-year-old Bertuzzi has scored 84 goals and has 189 assists in his career. NFL – National Football League – Week 6 Yesterday Los Angeles Chargers 19, Denver Broncos 16 – OT Chargers 19, Broncos 16 – OT – Late turnover, Hopkins 4th field goal gives Chargers OT win Dustin Hopkins kicked four field goals, including a 39-yarder with 2:38 remaining in overtime, and the Los Angeles Chargers rallied for a 19-16 victory over the Denver Broncos. The Chargers have won three straight to improve to 4-2. They are tied with Kansas City atop the AFC West. The game appeared to be headed toward a tie until Denver’s Montrell Washington muffed JK Scott’s punt at the Broncos 32-yard line. It was recovered by Deane Leonard at the 28. NFL – Lions DL Levi Onwuzurike out for year after back surgery Detroit Lions defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike is out for the season after having back surgery earlier this month. Lions coach Dan Campbell made the announcement Monday. The Lions drafted Onwuzurike with the No. 41 pick overall in 2021 and the former Washington standout had an underwhelming rookie season. Onwuzurike played in 16 games as a backup last year and had 35 tackles, including one sack. While trying to recover from a back injury this season, he did not play in a game. MLB – Major League Baseball Playoffs Last Night ALDS – Best of 5 Cleveland Guardians at New York Yankees, PPD Rain                            (Series tied 2-2) Guardians at Yankees, PPD – Guardians-Yankees rained out, to play ALDS Game 5 on Tuesday The decisive Game 5 of the AL Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees has been postponed by rain after a 2 1/2-hour delay and rescheduled for Tuesday at 4:07 p.m. Both teams took batting practice ahead of the scheduled 7:07 p.m. start. Major League Baseball announced a delay at 6:20 p.m., rain started falling at 7:30 p.m. and the postponement was announced at 9:38 p.m. It was the second postponement of the series following Game 2 at Yankee Stadium being pushed back a day until last Friday. Cleveland or New York will start the AL Championship Series at Houston on Wednesday night. Today ALDS – Best of 5 Cleveland (Civale 5-6) at New York (Cortes 12-4), 4:07 p.m.                 (Series tied 2-2) NLCS – Best of 7 Philadelphia (Wheeler 12-7) at San Diego (Darvish 16-8), 8:03 p.m.       (Game 1) NBA – National Basketball Association – Regular Season Openers Tonight Philadelphia 76ers at Boston Celtics, 7:30 p.m. Los Angeles Lakers at Golden State Warriors, 10:00 p.m. NBA – NBA ’22-23: Warriors out to defend, amid tons of contenders The Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics were the final two teams standing last season. And before this season started, both encountered some major issues. The Warriors will get their championship rings Tuesday night when the 77th NBA season opens. It’ll be the fourth time in eight years that the Warriors go into a season as defending champs. But they were rocked in the preseason by Draymond Green punching teammate Jordan Poole. They beat the Celtics in the NBA Finals and Boston has since lost coach Ime Udoka to a team-ordered suspension. If all that wasn’t enough, there are tons of contenders in both conferences to try to take the Warriors and Celtics down. NBA – Barkley, ‘Inside the NBA’ crew agree to contract extensions Charles Barkley will not be leaving TNT or the “Inside the NBA” crew for the foreseeable future. Barkley has signed a 10-year extension with Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, which owns TNT. Barkley’s agreement coincides with contract renewals for host Ernie Johnson and analysts Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal. Barkley has been with TNT since retiring as a player in 2000. He had floated the idea of doing commentary for LIV Golf this past summer. NCAAMBKB – North Carolina No. 1 in preseason AP Top 25 North Carolina is No. 1 in the preseason AP Top 25 men’s basketball poll. The national runner-up from last season returns four of five starters and received 47 of 62 first-place votes. Gonzaga is No. 2, followed by Houston and Kentucky. Kansas and Baylor, the last two national champions, are tied for fifth. Duke, led by new coach Jon Scheyer, is seventh with UCLA, Creighton and Arkansas rounding out the top 10. The Big 12 and SEC lead the way with five teams apiece in the Top 25. NCAAFB – Fallout from rare Alabama loss Alabama loses so infrequently it seems to shift the shape of the season when it happens. The Crimson Tide took an L on Saturday at Tennessee that pushed the Volunteers to No. 3 in the AP Top 25. The Vols received 15 first-place votes, the most they have gotten since 1999. After falling on a field goal as time expired, the Crimson Tide slipped three spots to No. 6. Alabama is the highest ranked team that has lost. Reality Check cautions against making any grand proclamations about the Alabama dynasty’s long-term health and is fine with the Tide’s short fall. NASCAR – Wallace ignored his own mantra in Larson conflict NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace has a mantra of “Peace, Love and Understanding” that he uses to push back against the negativity so often hurled his way. There was nothing peaceful about his skirmish with Kyle Larson at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Wallace appeared to deliberately crash the reigning NASCAR champion in a dangerous retaliatory move and then he tried to fight Larson. Now NASCAR gets to decide if Wallace was out of line. He could be looking at a suspension.

The national runner-up from last season returns four of five starters and received 47 of 62 first-place votes. Gonzaga is No. 2, followed by Houston and Kentucky. Kansas and Baylor, the last two national champions, are tied for fifth. Duke, led by new coach Jon Scheyer, is seventh with UCLA, Creighton and Arkansas rounding out the top 10. The Big 12 and SEC lead the way with five teams apiece in the Top 25. NCAAFB – Fallout from rare Alabama loss Alabama loses so infrequently it seems to shift the shape of the season when it happens. The Crimson Tide took an L on Saturday at Tennessee that pushed the Volunteers to No. 3 in the AP Top 25. The Vols received 15 first-place votes, the most they have gotten since 1999. After falling on a field goal as time expired, the Crimson Tide slipped three spots to No. 6. Alabama is the highest ranked team that has lost. Reality Check cautions against making any grand proclamations about the Alabama dynasty’s long-term health and is fine with the Tide’s short fall. NASCAR – Wallace ignored his own mantra in Larson conflict NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace has a mantra of “Peace, Love and Understanding” that he uses to push back against the negativity so often hurled his way. There was nothing peaceful about his skirmish with Kyle Larson at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Wallace appeared to deliberately crash the reigning NASCAR champion in a dangerous retaliatory move and then he tried to fight Larson. Now NASCAR gets to decide if Wallace was out of line. He could be looking at a suspension.

NHL – National Hockey League Last Night Los Angeles Kings 5, Detroit Red Wings 4 – OT Kings 5, Red Wings 4 – OT – Danault’s overtime goal gives Kings 5-4 win over Red Wings Phillip Danault scored 1:12 into overtime for his second goal of the game, and the Los Angeles Kings handed the Detroit Red Wings their first loss with a 5-4 victory. Danault’s winning shot in front hit a defender’s skate and bounced into the net. Anze Kopitar had a goal and an assist, giving him 47 points in 42 games against Detroit. Gabriel Vilardi also scored for the Kings, and Jonathan Quick made 29 saves. Wings forward Oskar Sundqvist scored in the final minute of regulation to send the game into overtime. NHL – Red Wings’ Bertuzzi out 4 to 6 weeks with upper-body injury Detroit Red Wings forward Tyler Bertuzzi is expected to be out for four to six weeks with an upper-body injury. The team made the announcement Monday before hosting the Los Angeles Kings. Bertuzzi helped Detroit win its first two games this season, giving the rebuilding team a much-needed solid start. Bertuzzi had career highs last year with 30 goals and 62 points. The 27-year-old Bertuzzi has scored 84 goals and has 189 assists in his career. NFL – National Football League – Week 6 Yesterday Los Angeles Chargers 19, Denver Broncos 16 – OT Chargers 19, Broncos 16 – OT – Late turnover, Hopkins 4th field goal gives Chargers OT win Dustin Hopkins kicked four field goals, including a 39-yarder with 2:38 remaining in overtime, and the Los Angeles Chargers rallied for a 19-16 victory over the Denver Broncos. The Chargers have won three straight to improve to 4-2. They are tied with Kansas City atop the AFC West. The game appeared to be headed toward a tie until Denver’s Montrell Washington muffed JK Scott’s punt at the Broncos 32-yard line. It was recovered by Deane Leonard at the 28. NFL – Lions DL Levi Onwuzurike out for year after back surgery Detroit Lions defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike is out for the season after having back surgery earlier this month. Lions coach Dan Campbell made the announcement Monday. The Lions drafted Onwuzurike with the No. 41 pick overall in 2021 and the former Washington standout had an underwhelming rookie season. Onwuzurike played in 16 games as a backup last year and had 35 tackles, including one sack. While trying to recover from a back injury this season, he did not play in a game. MLB – Major League Baseball Playoffs Last Night ALDS – Best of 5 Cleveland Guardians at New York Yankees, PPD Rain                            (Series tied 2-2) Guardians at Yankees, PPD – Guardians-Yankees rained out, to play ALDS Game 5 on Tuesday The decisive Game 5 of the AL Division Series between the Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees has been postponed by rain after a 2 1/2-hour delay and rescheduled for Tuesday at 4:07 p.m. Both teams took batting practice ahead of the scheduled 7:07 p.m. start. Major League Baseball announced a delay at 6:20 p.m., rain started falling at 7:30 p.m. and the postponement was announced at 9:38 p.m. It was the second postponement of the series following Game 2 at Yankee Stadium being pushed back a day until last Friday. Cleveland or New York will start the AL Championship Series at Houston on Wednesday night. Today ALDS – Best of 5 Cleveland (Civale 5-6) at New York (Cortes 12-4), 4:07 p.m.                 (Series tied 2-2) NLCS – Best of 7 Philadelphia (Wheeler 12-7) at San Diego (Darvish 16-8), 8:03 p.m.       (Game 1) NBA – National Basketball Association – Regular Season Openers Tonight Philadelphia 76ers at Boston Celtics, 7:30 p.m. Los Angeles Lakers at Golden State Warriors, 10:00 p.m. NBA – NBA ’22-23: Warriors out to defend, amid tons of contenders The Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics were the final two teams standing last season. And before this season started, both encountered some major issues. The Warriors will get their championship rings Tuesday night when the 77th NBA season opens. It’ll be the fourth time in eight years that the Warriors go into a season as defending champs. But they were rocked in the preseason by Draymond Green punching teammate Jordan Poole. They beat the Celtics in the NBA Finals and Boston has since lost coach Ime Udoka to a team-ordered suspension. If all that wasn’t enough, there are tons of contenders in both conferences to try to take the Warriors and Celtics down. NBA – Barkley, ‘Inside the NBA’ crew agree to contract extensions Charles Barkley will not be leaving TNT or the “Inside the NBA” crew for the foreseeable future. Barkley has signed a 10-year extension with Warner Bros. Discovery Sports, which owns TNT. Barkley’s agreement coincides with contract renewals for host Ernie Johnson and analysts Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal. Barkley has been with TNT since retiring as a player in 2000. He had floated the idea of doing commentary for LIV Golf this past summer.

1. Lions -With their first-round pick, the Lions began their draft theme of drafting guys that can “bite kneecaps off” with Oregon OT Penei Sewell. His addition arguably makes the Lions offensive line one of the most promising groups in the NFL. The Lions now have rock solid bookend tackles with Sewell at RT and Taylor Decker at left tackle. Inside, they have All Pro Frank Ragnow at center and Jonah Jackson, who had a very good rookie season in 2020, at one of the guard spots. Would you be surprised if the Lions OL becomes a top-10 unit at the end of this season, if not a top-five unit? -On day two, the Lions double-dipped at defensive tackle with Levi Onwuzurike and Alim McNeill. Double-dipping at a position in the draft usually means (at least in terms of logic) that the two players have perfectly complimentary skill sets. How well (if at all) do Onwuzurike and McNeill compliment each other, and can you see them as the two starters at DT for the Lions at some point in the next few seasons? -With their third-round compensatory selection, the Lions selected somebody who I personally expected to go quite a bit higher in CB Ifeatu Melifonwu out of Syracuse. He’s that long, lean, lanky, athletic corner most NFL teams prize in the modern NFL. Do you see Melifonwu capturing the starting CB spot opposite Jeff Okudah at some point this season? 2. Bears -The Bears arguably came away with not only the biggest steal of the 2021 NFL Draft, but a steal that can be THE most pivotal move in the history of the franchise as they traded up to snatch a potential superstar franchise QB in Justin Fields. Unlike most clubs in the NFL, most on Draft Twitter had Fields as the second-best QB in the draft solely behind Trevor Lawrence. And I agreed with that sentiment because in my view, Fields had the highest ceiling and highest floor out of all the non-Trevor Lawrence QB’s. On my draft livestream, I said that Justin Fields just might be the best QB in Chicago Bears history already, even though he’s yet to throw a pass. What makes Justin Fields so special, and exactly how high would you consider both his floor and ceiling to be? If Justin Fields wins the Week 1 starting job in training camp and preseason, should the Bears trade Andy Dalton, especially if he will get more value in return than Nick Foles would? -In the second round, the Bears traded up again to get Justin Fields some protection in Teven Jenkins, who is the quintessential “bouncer in a nightclub” offensive lineman. I was hoping the Bears planned on him playing RT opposite Charles Leno, but shortly after the draft, the Bears released Leno and said Teven Jenkins will be playing LT this season. Most draft analysts I really trust believe Jenkins is better suited to play RT or guard in the NFL than left tackle. How concerned are you about the Bears plan for him? -One of my favorite day three picks for the Bears was CB Thomas Graham, Jr. out of Oregon. It is VERY important for everyone to know that the Bears are essentially returning to the Vic Fangio playbook on defense this season with the promotion of Sean Desai to defensive coordinator, a move that was recommended to the Bears by Fangio himself. Graham is the vintage CB for a Fangio scheme given his instincts in zone coverage and ball skills. Do you see him starting at that slot corner spot at some point this season? 3. Vikings -The main need for the Vikings in this draft was to address their offensive line, and they did just that, with Virginia Tech OT Christian Darrisaw in the first round and Ohio State G Wyatt Davis in the third round. Was getting those two guys better than staying put at 14 and taking Alijah Vera-Tucker instead? Given those two additions, how much better is the Vikings OL compared to last season?

It's officially the official off-season and there's not a whole lot going on. Camps have yet to fully get going and so instead of focusing on topics like what shoe Kadarius Toney is or isn't wearing or whether or not Blake Bortles being signed to the Packers is an indication of a trade coming - we'll instead run you through 'our guys'.That's guys you love even if it doesn't make sense, guys that maybe weren't on your team but you went out of your way to watch them play or they made you take notice.Which Ravens players did Tom take? Was Brad's running back pick actually Zac Stacey? How many 49ers does Colum think he can get away with? Find out this and more on this week's episode!

Welcome to the And The Kick Is Good podcast! This week we recap the news of Aaron Rodgers, his apparent want to leave the Green Bay Packers and Tom's refusal to believe this is about anything else except money!That's right, Tom is doubling down on this all being about contracts, while Colum and Brad look at where he might just end up.We also recap the draft, looking mainly at the first round, the landing spots of the QBs, WRs, a few of our favourite players - Quinn Meinerz - and just what it means going forward!

Want to know exactly what's going to happen Thursday night at the 2021 NFL Draft? Well look no further as And The Kick Is Good podcast has you covered.Featuring guest Tris, we break down the first down picks, trade up, down, sideways, do various impersonations of NFL GMs and ultimately pick players where we think they're going.The audio for this episode was taken from a livestream we did, so apologies that it's choppy in parts with some feedback and background noise but it's well worth a listen as we may various overpays and decisions drastically detached from reality (or are they?)

Alim McNeill (quick, low, powerful, active) Daviyon Nixon (strong, quick, aggressive) Marvin Wilson (big/ath, good hands/tech) Barmore (active/ath, inconsistent power) Osa Odighizuwa (quick, good hands, low) Levi Onwuzurike (burst, active, hands) Tommy Togiai (big, strong, fast, stiff) Tyler Shelvin (run stuffer, but no burst) Bobby Brown III (can move, not madman)

Diese Woche besprechen Christian Schimmel (derdraft.de) und Jan Weckwerth (Triple Option) die Defensive Line Kandidaten im Draft. Wer ist eine Gefahr für Rekorde in der NFL, wer bleibt an seinem O-Liner hängen?

Readyforthedraft.com's Gregg Schutze shares his passion for the NFL draft and takes you on a journey leading up to the 2021 NFL Draft. After a quick rundown of his latest 1st Round Mock, Gregg takes a look at the DT position, where Christian Barmore may be the only interior D-lineman taken in Round 1. Gregg notes the depth of this year's draft class is really in the middle rounds, which is why guys like Levi Onwuzurike, Daviyon Nixon and Milton Williams may come off the board even sooner than expected on Day 2. From Darius Stills and Jay Tufele to Jaylen Twyman and Bobby Brown III, Gregg takes a look at the DT's he's expecting to see come off the board during all three days of the draft.

Welcome back to another episode!It's a slow news week, which leads to plenty of Kevin James talk before we head into the 2021 draft class of edge rushers and linebackers.It's a mixed bag with some high-risk, high-reward targets at edge before talk of a more promising round of linebackers, including Tom's next Jeremy Chinn and Bud Dupree.Who do we have where? Who's our favourite? Who needs to add some beef? Find out this and more!

Before they get into a weak defensive tackle class, Vincent & JJ discuss two huge roster moves that happened in the past week - the trade for presumed new starting QB Sam Darnold and the signing of presumed starting cornerback AJ Bouye. Does this preclude them from drafting a QB at the eighth pick? How about a CB like Patrick Surtain or Jaycee Horn? What the hosts' thoughts on the moves? Is there an answer to the question of who lines up next to Derrick Brown in the 2021 draft? Where do big boys like Levi Onwuzurike, Cam Sample, Daviyon Bixon and Christian Barmore fit into the draft? Would sleepers like Jaylen Twyman and Osa Odighizuwa fit in well on Phil Snow's defense? Scouting The Culture is a proud part of The Riot Network.
